Monday, June 16, 6 pm Envelope of Life: Jan Dennis
In emergency medical situations, one of the greatest obstacles facing Paramedics
is a lack of information regarding the medical history, medical conditions, and
prescribed medications for the patient requiring emergency treatment. The
“Envelope of Life” is a program designed to provide emergency medical personnel
with essential medical information for the patients they are treating. This
program has proven to be of great benefit in the proper emergency care of the
sick and injured. The Fire Department endorses the concept of the “Envelope of
Life” program, and is supportive of the efforts of the Neptunian Women’s Club in
implementing it in our community.
